Novel, ALREVÉS (February 2018)
A crime novel reminiscent of Jean-Pierre Melville’s films, set in present-day Barcelona.
Martín is a young misfit who falls madly in love with a writer who scorns him. Lena, the love of his life, his authentic obsession, is a femme fatale who only shows interest in people whose lives might provide material for her writing. Unable to accept this rejection, Martín seizes the opportunity to change his life when he happens to meet an enigmatic character known as “the Possibilist”, a sort of fixer who sees him as the perfect hitman. In this new line of work, Martín not only finds a shortcut to Lena’s heart, but the perfect outlet for a sociopath like himself.
A perverse love story, crimes carried out with scrupulous professionalism, and an unexpected final twist.
"Un roman magistral, qui prend le lecteur à la gorge, renouvelle radicalement les histoires de serial killer, et offre une qualité d’écriture proprement sidérante." Georges Tyras, traducteur
“Great inventiveness for recreating a world of his own.” Rosa Regás
